SBT Tribunals

Have you been refused social assistance, or has your social assistance been cancelled, reduced, or put on hold? An appeal to the Social Benefits Tribunal can help rectify that, but the process can be intimidating. Thomsen Paralegal Services can advocate for you if your social benefits such as Ontario Works, ODSP, CPP benefits have been denied or discontinued.

What Is The SBT?

The Social Benefits Tribunal hears appeals from people who have either been refused social assistance or who receive social assistance but disagree with a decision that affects:

Eligibility for assistance

Amount of assistance they receive

The benefits received

Guiding You Through The Confusing Appeals Process

You can appeal to the SBT when you have been refused social assistance or when your social assistance has been cancelled, reduced or put on hold, or an overpayment has been assessed. Appeals can include:

Assistance reduction

Benefit or assistance cancellation

Benefit of assistance refusal or denial

Overpayment disputes

Whether you are a person with a disability

Before you appeal, a request for an internal review of that decision must be made of the office that made the decision. If you receive a decision that you don’t agree with and want to be sure you can make an appeal, contact Thomsen Paralegal Services.
